A man suspected in the stabbing and carjacking of another man outside an Escondido pizzeria last week has been arrested, police said Wednesday.

Ulysses Ocampo, 22, is believed to be one of several men who approached a man, woman and child as they were waiting in their car for pizza at East Valley Parkway near Rose Street on Feb. 6, Escondido police said.

The assailants pulled alongside the victim’s gold Saturn sedan about 7:30 p.m. and ordered the three occupants out of the car at knife point. As the male victim exited, a struggle occurred, and he was stabbed in the chest.

The robbers drove off in the victim’s Saturn, followed by a white minivan.

The stolen car was found about 15 minutes later near Ohio Avenue and Cedar Street.

The man was treated at a hospital. The woman and child were not injured.

Gang investigators later identified Ocampo as a suspect. On Tuesday, someone called 911 about 4:40 p.m. to report a man threatening a person with a gun, and officers believed it was Ocampo.

Officers watched the area and spotted Ocampo near Lincoln Avenue and Martin Drive two hours later. He tried to run from police but was captured.

He was booked into Vista jail on suspicion of attempted murder, carjacking and kidnapping.

Anyone with information about the outstanding robbers is asked to call gang detectives at (760) 839-4717.
